| 12:10 – 12:20 | Pilot study – Three-year Degrees Two years ago, the Graduate Council (and subsequently Faculty Senate) approved a three-year pilot program where we could demonstrate that individuals from UK-based systems with three-year degrees did have the appropriate educational background to be admitted as a graduate student at OSU. Note that we do accept three-year degrees from Bologna-compliant schools (which is restricted to Europe). The initial pilot program was focused on India. The current OSU policy is to not accept the Australian 3-year Ordinary degree. The general recommendation from those who are experts in international institutions recommend that US institutions which accept the Bologna-compliant three-year degrees should also accept the Australian three-year Ordinary degree. Since we are two years into a three-year pilot program, I would ask that the Council approve an amendment to expand the Pilot Study to include three-year Ordinary degrees from Australia and New Zealand. |
